SLIME-in the Pacific Northwest

SLIME-in the Pacific Northwest

With Raincoast Education Society

The Pacific Northwest’s temperate climate offers the perfect environment for a diverse range of land snails and slugs, from the iconic banana slug to the elusive jumping slug. These creatures, though often overlooked, play vital roles in ecosystems throughout forests, wetlands, and mountains.

In this engaging webinar, Melissa Frey, Collection Manager of Invertebrate Zoology at the Burke Museum, will introduce you to the fascinating world of terrestrial gastropods. You’ll learn about both native and introduced species, how they contribute to the ecosystem, and why even the most dedicated naturalists may miss these fascinating creatures.

Whether you’re a seasoned nature lover or new to the world of gastropods, this talk will inspire you to look closer at these small yet important creatures.
